This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
To help my students continue to thrive this semester, I’m requesting a (restock) case of copy paper, colored paper, cardstock, rubber bands, and binder clips. These may sound like simple supplies, but they’re the magic wands that keep our classroom running smoothly. Copy paper is the backbone of our printed resources. Colored paper and cardstock will be perfect for hands-on projects. Binder clips and rubber bands? They’re the unsung heroes of organization, keeping our materials neat and ready for action.
My goal for this project is simple: to give my students the tools they need to succeed in an engaging and organized environment.
By having these supplies at our fingertips, we’ll be able to focus on the big things—learning, collaborating, and growing together.
These materials will help my students channel their creativity, stay on top of their work, and build confidence as they tackle new challenges. With your support, we’ll turn ordinary supplies into extraordinary opportunities for learning, discovery, and fun.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
